Kingsclere Church of England Primary School
Newbury, RG20 5RE · Hampshire · primary school
139th of 301 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 423 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.3/10 against 4,025 of them, against 5.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join tennis, karate, dance, football, netball, science, STEM, and samba band clubs. Music provision includes KS1 and KS2 choirs, calligraphy, French, Italian, flute, drum kit, and electric and bass guitar. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 202 pupils against a capacity of 266 places, leaving 64 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 9.0% aiming for the higher standard? How do class sizes impact individual attention with 64 places currently vacant?
